Another Reason To love Tony Stewart

This vests are supposed to be both shot proof & stab proof. I like that
there is more protection in the chest area.

It doesn't mention it in this article but he also bought vests for 3 or 4 other states also. Check out the video too.

That is awesome!! As much of a bad wrap as Tony gets for so many things, he also does so many great things, using his idea, not because someone asked him to, or to put on amedia show.

This is another article about some of chariable thigns he has done.

I do not watch Nascar all the time, but I've been a Stewart fan from when he was a Rookie. Because he was an open wheel driver before.

But this just backs my love of him.

Thanks for the link Amy. I didn't know all the other stuff he does. I don't
follow NASCAR at all, but it sure gets a lot of coverage here in Indy.

I did see a film clip the other day with Tony meeting and talking to a very
sick little boy who asked to be able to meet him. Tony sqatted down next
to the little guy & they talked together for a long time. The boy
was a little nervous but Tony handled it all really well. Tony never talked
to the media throughout the whole thing.

I really liked these vests that cover the dog's chest so much better. Indy
had one Police Dog who was killed when the fleeing man stabbed him in the
chest. The dog bled out & died before he could be treated.
